A
magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience
would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to
do the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem:
The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand
what the magician does in every trick.
Once
he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show:
Look, it's not the same hat. Look, he is hiding the flowers under
the table! Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?
The
magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's
parrot after all. One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The
magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the
ocean, with the parrot of course. They stared at each other with
hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and another,
and another.
After
a week the parrot finally said: OK. I give up. What'd you do with
the boat? |
